First DMC I have ever played and I cant get enough!
Gameplay 9/10
I thought the gameplay was excellent because when you would get to a group of enemies the battles would get ridiculous (in a good way) and you would be all over the screen attacking all of your foes.
Story 8/10
I wasnt expecting to get into the story to much when I first started to play but it grew on me and now I am considering on picking up DMC3.
Music 9.5/10
I really liked the music in this game, mostly because I like metal and techno music and I havent really heard to much of that mixed which was interesting. My favorite song has to be the one when you first boot up your game and let it sit and it plays a little mini movie. The only problem with the music is that they could have made more tracks.
Graphics 9/10
The graphics i thought were very well done expecally during the cut-scenes. After i beat a game I usually do not watch the cut-scenes again but i find myself watching these ones over and over because they a interesting and look outstanding.
9/10
The replay value of this game depends on the user because after you beat the game on normal (dont remember what they call it in the game, its the second one that is open when you first get the game) a harder difficulty and the Bloody Palace is unlocked. The Bloody Palace is just a open fighting arena and you try to beat all 100 levels of it in one sitting, it can get extremely hard. After beating the game on the difficulty you just unlocked the hardest difficulty is unlocked. And whenever you beat a difficulty for the first time some bonus art and such is unlocked, so there is quite of bit of work to be done.
In conclusion this is a great game for any "hack and slash" type of gamer and anyone with an interest in these types of games.
